Relative Humidity Correction

Calibration Procedure

Mechanical balances inside the spinning hall operate within a controlled range to maintain accuracy against the standard reference atmosphere. Technicians record the ambient air state using a psychrometer and apply the relevant shift factor to the raw mass value recorded on the scale. High ambient saturation forces the moisture content of the flax above the standard baseline, which requires a downward adjustment of the measured mass to find the dry fibre weight.

Low saturation requires an upward adjustment to account for missing water mass. Accurate calculation of these shifts prevents payment errors between the fibre supplier and the processing facility because the contract depends on dry mass weight.

Material Tolerance

Mill inspectors verify the validity of the final fibre yield by comparing the adjusted total against the weight listed on the initial packing document. Consistent application of this logic removes the variability of seasonal climate shifts from the production records. Spinning performance relies on the precision of these values because the moisture levels within the fibres dictate how effectively the machines pull and twist the material into yarn.

Variations in the dry weight calculation result in misallocated resources during the weaving stage. Correctly applied mass adjustments prevent the unintended overpayment for water weight that sits inside the fibre cells.
